They also use an IFrame to which data is continually writen, this
simulates a persistent open connection and removes the need for a poll.

you *can* do something similar with plain ol' AJAX, but I'm willing to
bet that Google have a customised web server for supporting a
persistent connection. Apache 2.0 has an alpha event driven model for
this kind of thang, but IIS so far as I know doesn't have the necessary
infrastructure to build a GMail in the way that Google built it.
If you want to do more complex things than Atlas does out of the box, I
always recommend AJAX.Net professional which is awesomely awesome, but
to get the best use from it, requires a different model for your
code-behind (a *very* clean separation of UI from business-logic and
data tiers) and lots of custom JScript.

Check out ASP.NET AJAX (aka Atlas):

GMail uses AJAX to periodically poll the server for new messages.
